Disney CEO Bob Iger said that ESPN will launch its standalone streaming service in August 2025, touting the experience as “unlike anything available in the market today.”
The service, which brings together the full suite of ESPN channels, will be highly interactive, and include digital integrations of services like ESPN Bet and fantasy sports. It’ll also include e-commerce features and a wealth of sports stats, Iger added.
While Disney has long talked about the ESPN service, Iger’s comments offer more specific details of the plan. It also confirms that its direct-to-consumer streaming ambitions with ESPN are on track.

OK. I'm gonna give 1 "Ugh."
Can someone correctly connected share that on 10-12 streaming services?

These services need to migrate to a streaming service in order to survive. At the end of the day the consumer benefits because it cuts out the middle man that marks up the programming and needs to cover their high, ongoing infrastructure costs.
We are in the infancy of this migration. You can see the writing on the wall with the strongest streaming services aligning and offering bundles.

I can see the writing because I'm reading books rather than watching TV. True Detective is the first drama series I've watched in a couple of years.
